When I put on his show he was scheduled to go on at 11:30 and hit the stage by midnight with a 90 min performance that was great. A few people told me it was the best live act they had ever seen. I don't really get why some promoters don't have artists on til 30 minutes before the bar closes. My contracts clearly state a length of time they will preform. Every artists I have delt with is a 90 minute to 2 hour set time ( excepted Marcia Griffiths 70 min). The only person I've had trouble with is Perfect who walked off stage and who I will never book again. Final thoughts... If an artist is not on stage a decent time it is the promoters fault or the artist should not be paid.
